九龙仓置业(01997.HK):现时环境下首要工作是开源节流
九龙仓置业(01997.HK)主席兼常务董事吴天海在网上会议上表示,由於与零售租户之间的交易受租约保密协议所限,因此不能透露续租租金减宽,仅透露公司在上半年已作出超过10亿元的租金宽免,形容不是少数目。在写字楼方面,由於经济出现不明朗,令空置率有上升趋势,因此租金增速不如以往快,甚至有下调压力,集团会密切留意情况,希望在出租率及租金上取得平衡。
至於下半年的情况则难以预测,他坦言除了租户有困难外,业主亦有要面对的困难及开支,例如要支付利息、偿还银行债务、出粮、缴交差饷及地租等。因此,不能只单靠业主去作出纾缓措施,每个持分者都要互相去平衡情况。
他又指,现时的营商环境确是不利,但集团在香港立足多年,不会只看现时的情况,认为此地仍是良好的营商地方,会继续在此地作投资。目前仍未看到是次疫情彻底改变香港竞争力。在现时经济环境下,首要做的工作是开源节流,并致力发掘本地市场。
被问及集团会否有意将旗下酒店重建成写字楼时,他指没有此想法,因为现时各行各业都受到影响,并不知道未来发展如何,因此不会仓猝地作改变物业用途的决定。
